Rick Santorum’s camp is looking far beyond the upcoming primary in Pennsylvania, spokeswoman Alice Stewart said on CNN Tuesday, pointing to Texas as a “critical state” in the Republican race.

“He’s expecting to do well in his home state, but mark my word, Wolf, Texas will be a critical state in this primary process. Keep an eye on Texas, that’s going to be important,” Stewart told Wolf Blitzer.

The Texas Republican primary is scheduled for May 29. Voters cast their ballots in Santorum’s home state of Pennsylvania on April 24.

“Every primary night you’re going to have some winners and you’re going to have some losers. And one night we’ll have an up and the next night we’ll have a down. The same with the Romney campaign,” Stewart said. “But we’re looking ahead. We’re looking at the calendar ahead of us and not behind us. And April 24 is going to be a great night for us.”

After Blitzer asked whether Santorum would drop out if he lost Pennsylvania, Stewart said the campaign anticipates doing “very well” in his home state and again emphasized the Texas primary.

“We have a three-week break between now and Pennsylvania,” Stewart said. “Pennsylvania will be important, but also Texas. We do expect to do well also in North Carolina and Arkansas, but we’re looking to the future and expect good things ahead.”
